عنوان المقالة:Personalized and Depersonalized Responses to Leaders’ Fair Treatment: Status Judgments and Leader– Member Exchange as Mediating Mechanisms
By extracting insights from leader–member exchange (LMX) theory and social
identity theory, this study predicted that a leader’s interactional justice is associated
with followers’ multifoci identification by personalized and depersonalized
mediating mechanisms. Specifically, we hypothesized that a leader’s interactional
justice affects (a) followers’ relational identification via the LMX as a personalized
response and (b) followers’ work-group identification via status judgments
(pride and respect) as a depersonalized response. The study’s constructs were
measured on three separate occasions over an interval of 4 months, using data
from a sample of 322 employees at a large public university. As predicted, we
found that (a) LMX mediates the relationship between interactional justice and
relational identification and (b) status judgments (pride and respect) mediate
the relationships between interactional justice and work-group identification.
Theoretical and practical implications for these findings are discussed.
